The Supreme Court today issued notice to the central government and CBI after a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) was filed in connection with the coal blocks allocations controversy. The PIL filed by an NGO and some bureaucrats, demands a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe into the allegations of unfairness and arbitrariness in the allocation of 194 coal blocks. However, the court has refused to stay the government's decision by which coal blocks were allocated to the various public and private sector units and directed to tag this petition with other petitions pending on same issue.
